Coventry College Rugby Stars Earn Scholarships to St. Bonaventure University

Coventry College is celebrating the achievements of two outstanding students, Nick Nattress and Henry Quance, who have been awarded scholarships to join the men’s rugby programme at St. Bonaventure University in America

Enrolled in the Level 3 Extended Diploma in Sport and Physical Activity (Rugby Academy), both students have excelled in their sport, paving the way for this remarkable opportunity.

Henry Quance expressed his gratitude for the programme, stating, “The Coventry College Rugby Education Programme has given me the opportunity of a lifetime to progress in my chosen sport and play rugby overseas in America. Without the programme and the experienced coaching staff and the opportunity to play rugby all over the country, including the Portugal Youth Festival over the last two years, this wouldn’t have been possible.”

Nick Nattress echoed these sentiments, highlighting the programme’s impact on his development. “The college rugby programme is a great way to pursue your rugby career. It has helped me gain new skills and experiences from playing against some of the top colleges in the country. The coaches have helped and supported me along the way, giving me specific feedback which has made me a better player, helping me reach my goal of playing rugby overseas in America.”

The Coventry College Rugby Education Programme, known for its rigorous training and competitive match opportunities, has been instrumental in shaping the careers of aspiring rugby players. The programme’s experienced coaching staff and comprehensive curriculum offer students the chance to hone their skills and gain valuable experience, both on and off the field. Participation in prestigious events such as the Portugal Rugby Youth Festival has further enriched the students’ rugby education, providing international exposure and competition.
